I realize no one is even reading this at this point seeing as how its been almost a year since I’ve posted. And what a wild and crazy year its been. I didn’t mean to disappear but life had other plans for me. I’ll get around to posting about it all but for now I have a musical confession to make. I’m already listening to Christmas music. Yes, you all knew I was a little but nutty and I guess I’ve just confirmed that for you. I was having a bad week last week and needed something to perk me up so I bought the $5.99 Target CD they always put out and Olivia Newton John’s new Christmas CD. I *heart* Olivia and the sound of her voice. Its so very smooth and soothing. I’ve moved my other CD’s out of the car (with exception to kid music cd’s because I do not dare drive without Sesame Street’s Greatest Hits ready and available!) and put my folder with all my Christmas tunes on the front seat. Out of all the Christmas CD’s I own I have to say the one I look forward to listening to the most every year is my Harry Connick, Jr. one. I used to have all (both?) of his Christmas CD’s but the oldest one got lost in the shuffle somehow. However, Harry for the Holidays, has an awesome rendition of Frosty the Snowman that the girls and I all enjoy. We turn the radio up and sing along… Thumpity Thump Thump Thumpity Thump, Look at Frosty Go… Thumpity Thump Thump Thumpity Thump, Over the hills of Snoooowww! I had the pleasure of going to Harry’s (we’re on a first name basis) Christmas show a few years ago and had sixth row seats. They were off to the side so not as wonderful as they may sound but Harry worked the stage so that even us poor souls on the side got great enjoyment for two hours straight. It was such a fun and exciting night. After the concert I ran into a co-worker who happened to be there with Harry’s cousin and I begged and pleaded for them to get my Christmas ornament autographed. He promised they’d try and Monday AM walked into my office with one autographed HCJ Christmas ornament that now hangs at the top of my tree every year. It is one of my most prized possessions.

So, yeah, those of you who think I’m totally off my rocker, Thanksgiving really IS only a week from today! I’m not that far ahead of the game if you think about it. Happy Holidays to you!
